Roman Catholic AnswerThere seems to be a lot of confusion about the Immaculate Conception, even among Catholics - who should know better! The Immaculate Conception refers to the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in her mother's (Anne's) womb. From the first moment of her conception she was preserved from original sin. Thus Mary was the only person, saving Our Blessed Lord himself, who was conceived and did not have original sin affecting them in any way. Our Blessed Lord's birth is referred to as the Virgin Birth, as His Father, in the way of His conception was the Holy Spirit who overshadowed the Blessed Virgin. This is NOT the Immaculate Conception. That refers to a normal conception, that of Our Blessed Lady who was conceived in the normal way. The only other people who came into the world without original sin were Adam and Eve, but they were not conceived, they were created that way.

Where was Mary immaculate from?

A Christian AnswerAccording to the Bible two things are clear. One is that all humans are sinners. Secondly, the Bible does not indicate anything to contradict this for any individual, no matter how holy or blessed, and Mary is indeed blessed for being the mother of Jesus.Thus the doctrines of the immaculate conception, perpetual virginity and anything else which contradicts the clear word of God does not have scriptural authority.Roman Catholic AnswerThrough the merits of her son, Jesus Christ, and His passion, Mary was conceived without the stain of original sin. When Adam and Eve were created by God, they were created without sin, they fell, and in doing so lost original justice. As our first parents they did not have it to pass on. It's like they lost the gene and so all of the rest of us did not receive it, as they no longer had it to pass on. When Mary was conceived, God granted her the effects of that salvation that would come from Jesus' passion, from the first moment of her conception, and did not allow the shadow of that first fault to affect her. This we call the Immaculate Conception and it was done so that no sin or its effects would touch the body of Our Blessed Savior.


Why don't people believe in the Immaculate Conception?

Most Protestants believe that Mary was freed from Original Sin at the same time as everyone else. Catholics say that she was conceived free from Original Sin by the future grace that was obtained by the redemption. Catholics don't believe that Jesus would have spent his first nine months in the body of someone who was under the power of the evil, especially since people are forbidden by the Bible to receive Communion while in the state of serious sin.
